Thyangboche Monastary (12,680') sits atop a wooded ridge overlooking acres of rhododendron forest. "Thyangboche must be one of the most beautiful place in the world," said John Hunt leader of the 1953 British expedition. Ama Dablam is on the right, and the peak of Everest can be seen to the left of the temple rising over the Nuptse ridge (just to the right of the temple is Nuptse.)
